    Hi miss C, what a satisfying way to spend the morning. Going through boxes, long ignored and full of memories and things you thought lost. I was dying to get into your box of clothes to see what might fit you now. I bet you are close. I love going through boxes and sorting. I have a bunch of giveaways, all packed. I need to get my butt in Gear and take them to the distribution centers. My favorite two finds you pulled out was the Audrey Hepburn doll and the photo of you and your girlfriends. That photo captured such a great moment. Your girl shed will have some cute decor, once it’s built. Hugs, judy.

      It sounds like such an awful task - sitting in the sun, sorting through the dusty detritus of my life. I'm actually enjoying the process, and I'm suprised how good it feels to say goodbye to paperwork, hoarded clothing, and all the rest of it. I found a collection of cute cotton tops that will fit in about 20 pounds. I bought them in 2000, and they still had the price tags!

      @@cherylcoyote I remember some cute things you bought that were bohemian style. Does that ring a bell? I think before your mom died. You need to track them down. I bet they might fit…or be too big even.

      It's nearly dusk here and I'm still sitting outside the container, sifting through my junk. I was right about the volume of declutter - about half of it will go immediately. It's obscene how much Christmas crap I have - many, many Costco tubs full of the stuff. What was I thinking!? I don't even decorate for the holidays anymore. I'm honing it down to the decor I inherited from my mom, anything the kids made or I made, and some odds and ends from my early 20s. Everything else is getting packed up by theme and will end up at a yard sale, then donated. Whew, this feels great!

    Love that telephone! I still have a landline, just can’t seem to let it go. That photo of you and your friends in lawn chairs reminded me of a photo I have of me and my siblings and a neighbor friend sitting in lawn chairs like that. I was probably 7 years old. I’m 62 now. 😁

I am leaving out of state to go back to work and I will be leaving here within quickness. I am not doing the utility pole inspections anymore. I did that for eight years and now I’m going back to Underground construction and utilities.

    Wow, you are a busy lady! It's funny how much of your possessions are similar to mine! I need to have a go-through also. One saving grace is I have had a couple of moves that forced me to get rid of some things. But "they" are proliferating once more in the nooks and crannies! You are looking really good and I can tell you feel wonderful. Say howdy to Grant! Hugs

      Hi Denise! I'm suprised at how easy it's been to destash things I've been sitting on for years. I hope to be more or less finished before the weather turns cold and rainy this fall. I'm having fantasies of snuggling up by the woodstove in my neat and well ordered house, with its carpets fresh, walls papered, furniture polished, and its storage buildings half empty!

      Thank you! I've always loved olive green. Yes, the store will open, but I'm dedicating this summer to putting my home life in order. Once I'm closing in on that I'll turn my attention to becoming a shopkeeper again😊 My mother taught me to love old things. She had a marvelous eye for beauty. In fact, we had planned to run the store together. Now it's a bucket list item for me. Fisher Price? That's possible - I'll let you know if I unearth any.

      Thanks Chris! If you keep the valley as your home base you've got a standing invite to visit whenever this contract ends. Utilitly poles is a tough gig, for sure. I hope you enjoy your new job. Yeah, My parents had a lot of family stuff, but my grandparents were the real hoarders. He was a garbage man - owned the contract - and stuffed his warehouse full of fascinating castoffs. After he passed no one else in the family was interested in the hoard but me. Needless to say, it all ended up here! Take care and safe travels!

    I need to do the same... even though I lost everything in that fire a bit ago now... it is quick to accumulate things... but then I think a few times before I stuff toss then and it makes it hard to get rid of stuff... but in reality the ridding of stuff , the things that are not quality stuff... well, that is liberating and doesn't weigh you down... Love what you are doing Cheryl! Keeping busy looks good on you Friend!

    • @cherylcoyote
      @cherylcoyote  Před 2 měsíci

      Oh gosh, I do the same. An item will move from pile to pile - 'keep', 'save for grandson', 'yard sale' and finally 'donate'. I think that's a normal way to say goodbye to our no longer needed possessions. I really am having a ball with the whole process. I've taken today to work in the yard, but my fingers are itching to get back over to those piles and piles of junk!
